Extron Now Shipping Three New Control Processors with Network Isolation for Added Security

Anaheim, California (June 21, 2017) - Extron Electronics is pleased to announce the immediate availability of several new IP Link Pro control processors, including the IPCP Pro 555, IPCP Pro 355DR, and the IPCP Pro 255. Each high-performance, versatile control processor in this lineup features advanced security standards and dual Gigabit Ethernet ports, which ensure compatibility with multiple TouchLink Pro touchpanels using a standard network infrastructure. Of the two Ethernet ports, the AV LAN is designated to control local AV devices, and is secure from outside interference or intrusion. All of these can be used with Extron LinkLicense, which further enhances the capabilities of Extron Pro Series control systems. These powerful control processors are an ideal choice for controlling multiple devices and signal types within AV systems requiring an isolated AV network.

"Extron recognizes that network security is a growing concern for our customers," says Casey Hall, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Extron. "While all of our Pro Series control processors use advanced security protocols to safeguard your data, these new IPCP Pro control processors offer the added benefit of a dedicated AV LAN port that further protects the AV network from intrusion and interference."

The IPCP Pro 555, IPCP Pro 355DR, and the IPCP Pro 255 can be configured using Global Configurator Plus or Global Configurator Professional software or programmed using Extron Global Scripter. For enterprise-wide applications, GlobalViewer Enterprise can provide centralized AV resource monitoring, management, and control over a computer network.
